Art and Craft of Problem Solving

[disregardthat]

I've recently gotten hold of this book, "The Art and Craft of Problem Solving", by Paul Zeitz. I have heard many recommondations for it, and think it is fantastic.

I want to read it the most effective way. Have any of you read it? How did you do it, or do you have any tips on how to read such a book? The book says that I shouldn't read it linearly, but jump to different chapters at wish. But I'd really like a system to follow.

- Thanks

Have you ever seen a body builder who uses machines vs a body builder who lifts free weights?

The one who has sculpted their body with a machine which follows strict movement is rigidly defined, almost predictable and perhaps has more endurance for specific tasks...

The brain is a muscle... don't think that math and problem solving are related in any way what-so-ever... problem solving involves organic thought... not a system of rules...

I think this book may be more beneficial than you think...

If this post was an inside math joke I apologize... I'm new here... and my math skills suck...
